The word
"supermassive" describes something that is extremely large or heavy, way bigger than usual.
Full definition
Astronomers may have been seeing double when they recently announced the discovery of a pair of
supermassive black holes at the heart of a galaxy collision.
«By combining the detection of gravitational waves with simulations we could ultimately work out when and how the first seeds
of supermassive black holes formed.»

This is often the case in the search for «high - redshift» quasars, extremely distant and luminous objects powered
by supermassive black holes.
The source directions of the most energetic cosmic rays correlate with locations of nearby active galactic nuclei, implying that they form
from supermassive black holes.
This is consistent with some theoretical predictions that a hot gas atmosphere is associated with the accretion disks swirling around
central supermassive black holes, provided that the distant quasars have more massive black holes than nearby ones (Bechtold et al, 2002).
Indeed, GRBs appear to emit produce even more energy than supernovae or even quasars (which are energetically bright accretion disks and bi-polar jets
around supermassive black holes that are most commonly found in the active nuclei of some distant galaxies and possibly even in the pre-galaxy period after the Big Bang).
It's a party game as you probably guessed, but Steve Goss, Creative Director
for Supermassive Games, believes this is doing something completely different from previous games.
The discovery of these phenomena in the nearby universe has significant impacts on our understanding of
how supermassive black holes are formed and how matter rapidly falls onto them.
They may be a new class of midsize black holes, weighing 100 solar masses or so, which could have formed either by the collision of smaller black holes or by the death of
supermassive stars.
Until Dawn may have been completely rebuilt visually by
developer Supermassive Games, but the title retains a dark feel as a group of teenagers attempt to survive the night in the woods.
Meanwhile, a correlation between the rate at which stars form in the central regions of galaxies and the amount of gas that falls
into supermassive black holes (mass accretion rate) was known to exist, leading some scientists to suggest that the activity involved in star formation fuels the growth of black holes.
Possible culprits include the lingering remains of supernovae, the explosions that occur when massive stars run out of fuel and die; and active galactic nuclei, superheated galaxies
with supermassive black holes at their centers that spew out energy at prodigious rates.
Some galaxies
contain supermassive black holes that are voracious eaters, consuming gas, dust and anything else that strays too close, including light.
As the developers and team
at Supermassive Games talk about the videogame in the interview, the edit of the video makes them appear to move quickly and unnaturally, highlighting the creepy tension one should expect from a VR horror experience.
Astronomers have observed tornadolike winds powered by a central
active supermassive black hole, such as the one in this image, pervading a galaxy.
Although stars can never attain that much mass, Albert Einstein's 1916 general theory of relativity put Michell's hunch about
supermassive objects onto solid theoretical ground.
The objects causing these low - frequency ripples — such as
orbiting supermassive black holes at the centers of distant galaxies — would be different from the higher frequency ripples, emitted by collisions of much smaller black holes, that have so far been detected on Earth.
The Inpatient is the obvious highlight
as Supermassive Games did a wonderful job with Until Dawn.
«Ultra-fast winds
near supermassive black hole equivalent to a category 77 hurricane.»
Quasars are extremely bright objects powered by gas falling
onto supermassive black holes.
They found that the rays seemed to concentrate in «hotspots» in the vicinity of particular galaxies, suggesting that they might originate in the overheated matter
surrounding supermassive black holes at the galaxies» centres.
Hidden Agenda is the new innovative, narrative - driven adventure game by
Supermassive games.
Now we know quasars are crazy because of violence happening around
distant supermassive black holes.
Most galaxies
host supermassive black holes with millions or billions of times the mass of the sun.
First details
on Supermassive's new cover - based FPS, featuring support for the PS VR Aim Controller and online co-op play.
The
first Supermassive VR game of the show, The Inpatient, is shaping up to be a first person horror game set in an insane asylum.
Collisions
between supermassive black holes (SN Online: 8/31/15) can be heard from much farther away, but they send out long, undulating waves to which LIGO is deaf.
Unlike previous SDSS surveys, they are not only mapping the centers of galaxies
where supermassive black holes live, but the outer edges of the galaxies as well, which allowed them to discover the red geyser galaxy.
Previous studies predicted that
when supermassive stars collapse, they maintain a spherical shape that possibly becomes flattened due to rapid rotation.
He and his colleagues found that gas - rich galaxies — common in the early universe — may be the key to the formation of
early supermassive black holes.
Waves from
binary supermassive black holes oscillate slowly compared with supernovas, which generate high - frequency waves.
If the object really is a gas cloud, the fireworks (at x-ray and infrared wavelengths) should reveal the extreme conditions that prevail around the galaxy's biggest black hole — useful information not only for astronomers
studying supermassive black holes in other galaxies but also for starship captains the next time they voyage to the Milky Way's hub.
Astronomers are believing that DOGs harbor actively
growing supermassive black holes in their nuclei (* 4).
When several black holes formed through this rapid funnelling, they would collide and merge with each other to
form supermassive black holes.
It's unknown
if Supermassive Games could be working on another PlayStation VR project, then, though Samuels did mention that the team has internal discussions about what a possible Until Dawn 2 could be.
Having fully expected software to dry up in the same way support for the Vita died off, it was definitely a pleasant surprise to
see Supermassive Games's psychological horror game The Inpatient and a handful of other that included Skyrim VR.
UK - based
studio Supermassive Games has a long history with its recently - released PlayStation exclusive videogame, Until Dawn.
Several trailers and gameplay videos have been going around
about Supermassive's horror game Until Dawn.
«Scientists
observe supermassive black hole in infant universe: Findings present a puzzle as to how such a huge object could have grown so quickly.»
Rotating magnetars that hammer surrounding material with their vast magnetic fields, superluminous supernovae explosions, or immensely volatile cosmic events
like supermassive black holes ejecting material are among the theories of what causes FRBs.
Our results indicate that the event was probably caused by a rapidly
spinning supermassive black hole as it destroyed a low - mass star,» Leloudas said in the statement Monday.
«Gravitational waves from
merging supermassive black holes will be spotted within 10 years: Survey of fast - spinning pulsar stars offers better estimate of when astronomers will first detect the strongest gravitational waves in the universe, which dwarf those previously detected from black hole mergers.»
